QuestionQ20

IP Multicast

You are configuring anycast RP for load balancing and redundancy within your PIM-SM domain, and you need to share active sources among RPs.

Which two solutions accomplish this task?

Choose two
  • A Configure MSDP on each RP router.
  • B Configure anycast PIM with the rp-set statement on each RP router.
  • C Configure anycast PIM with the rp-set statement on each source DR router.
  • D Configure MSDP on each source DR router.
Explanation

MSDP peers on the RP routers exchange Source-Active messages, allowing every RP to learn about sources registered with another RP. Alternatively, PIM-only anycast RP uses the anycast-pim rp-set configuration on each RP router to define the participating RPs and provide source sharing. Source DR routers register sources to an RP but are not the devices that exchange active-source state among RPs.
